We had been getting battered by rain the past few days, but today it let up enough to allow for some detecting. It was a messy affair though, with muddy soil clinging to everything - gloves, trowel, probe. Anyway, I did manage to find four silver coins, three mercury dimes, dated 1923, 1927-D, and 1936, and one Roosevelt dime, dated 1946.
The wheat cents are not in the best of shape, but I'll take them. The other item is a button.
HH!
